I have already accepted the IDES findings (40%unfit med retirement), but facing Dual Process?

I am getting pretty nervous myself. I accepted a medical retirement in January (40% unfit, 90% VA). I also have an unfitting back condition and a Cat I: Deep Vein Thrombosis which is currently awaiting a ruling. I expected to be on terminal leave by now (February), but I found out the a CC outside my organization intervened so that I wouldn't receive a retirement date. The CC wants me to take and fail my 5th PFT (4 Failures occurred while under IDES/MEB) so that they can draw up administrative actions and attempt a Dual Action Process. I currently have an Abdominal Circumference only profile. Really difficult to cut waist when I am on a no "high impact" profile that instructs that I walk no more than 1/2 mile, because life threatening blood clot is located in vein under the knee.

Has anybody experienced or seen such activities? Do you believe I will be administratively separated for 5 PFT failures or will the Medical retirement that I accepted stand?

I do not believe you will be admin sept for PFT failures. Are you working with MEB legal office? A company commander can't hold up your retirement because "he wants to try to admin sep you". Have you met with a retirement services person?

The MEB legal office set me on this path telling me to accept the retirement as recommended by the board and retire before my next PT test to limit exposure. The ADC believed that once they draft the administrative separation paper would be revoked by legal, but it seems like they are working hand in hand.
 
Have you been to retirement services? Tell you PEBLO you want an appointment with as soon as possible...my opinion you should have already met with them. But anyway...or you could just go directly to retirement services and talk to them about your orders.

Thanks...I had never heard of retirement services. I will talk to my PEBLO tomorrow morning.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but they gain nothing by doing this. The worse they can do is take a stripe and give you an honorable but your still retired at highest grade and no lose of money. Leadership gone wild?
